■ The latest cause celebre in Berlin is one with sausages as its. subject. A number of dealers. in these savoury articlesj -,dear to the heart of , Germans, have been indicted for purchasing unheard-of quantities of sausages made of horseflesh, and selling them, after re-manufacture, for the toothsome products of the Black Forest and ThUringia. Some thirty persons are implicated, both men and women. Their procedure seems to have ' been something as follows: —From various parts of the country they ordered huge consignments of horse sausages, of the value of hundreds of thousands of marks. The "goods" were sorted here, then sent to Carlsruhe, St. Johann, Saarbrucken, and other remote places, where these traders had steam-power works. Here this nauseous/ stuff was doctored up, spiced and flavored in various fashions and put on home and especially on foreign markets as prime German ( sausages from the Black Forest, etc. The case, , which naturally creates considerable stir, will last a week, and the result will probably be hesitation on the part of confirmed sausage eaters, both in Germany and abroad, to invest further in such weird comestibles.
